Question

The hair around my forehead and towards the crown is becoming gradually thinner which is making me very self-conscious.

Could this be linked to hormone changes and therefore is it worth getting my GP to do a blood test?

Answer

Yes it could be linked to hormone changes and I see you have hypothyroidism. This is a common cause of such hair thinning so it’s time to have a blood test to check the current levels of thyroid hormone in your system.

If that has been done recently then it could still be due to other hormonal changes – the sex hormones. The best thing to do is have it checked out.

Yours sincerely
